Woods said that the US are 'massive underdogs' for next week's Ryder Cup.
However, no European player has won a Major for five(?) years and the US players are ranked, on average, a brazillion(?) places above their European counterparts.
Is home advantage worth that much? Can't be since we won easily a couple of years back in the US with, seemingly, inferior players.
Just what is it that makes Europe such overwhelming favourites in Tiger's eyes :huh:
Good thing it doesn't count for the streak. It's match play and not 72 holes of golfin'.Quote:

I don't think so as Tiger has an appalling Ryder Cup record.Quote:

It's easier to play 18 holes than 72 - why would making the game easier work against the better players ... .
You see where I'm going with this, Busy.
Hell if you've seen Tiger's record he many times is coming back ftw. I don't see him kicking ass throughout the tourney but mainly he turns it up notch in the last round or so.Quote:

I remember him beating a guy recently in a playoff and the guy had the game in the palm of his hand and fucked it all up. Tiger pulls wins outta his ass, it seems. Also from what I gather from my resident Tiger follower in my crew, Tiger never really gives a hell about the Ryder Cup (yet gives a hell enough to show up:dry:). I wish he would so he could just add it to his resume.
Oh and no I don't see where you're going with this.
I think home field advantage is worth that much. Just look at the numbers. Historically, Euro players have been ranked lower, yet the Ryder Cup is always a tough round for the Americans. Why, you ask? Weather, the crowds, the Europeans better knowledge of the course, i dunno. But we're due! :01:Quote:
